Default New Interior Mods (LED upgrade, leather gear boot & more)

It's been a while since I posted about my mods. I've since done quite a few more mods and thought i would share some pictures of some of these recent mods. It's not everything but the ones that quickly come to mind.

I wil update my blog soon with all the mods and possibly have a list of mods on my blog. Right now, my instagram is the most up-to-date with my mods as that's the first place I get round to updating. This is not the end of the mods. I've got a few big ones coming up very soon hopefully by Christmas

Please remember mods are all down to personal taste, so it may not appeal to all. Just thought i'd share 😃

The photos below are of the following mods:
  • Blue hybrid power button
  • Leather gear boot and shift **** from 3IS re-stitched in blue
  • Hydrodipped black carbon centre console and window switches
  • Hydrodipped blue carbon: gear **** trim, paddle shifters, steering switchpads and 2 side trims for centre console
  • Flat bottom carbon steering wheel with blue stitching
  • Wrapped interior grab handle gloss black
  • Ambient EL wire blue light on front door cards
  • LED upgrade from green to white, with a few blue ones
  • Hydrodipped centre stack navigation unit in black carbon with custom white decals

Pics attached below:

I had no idea that hydrodip could look so good on small parts like that. I really dig it.

Man you have some imagination and strive for detail! Very nice. I have no access to FB or Instagram. That said, if the door panels are doing what I think they're doing, that is so awesome! A leap forward for the 2IS chassis.
Very nice. Good job!

Thank you It looks even better in real life. Hard to picture the detail unless you are a pro photographer

Thank you, much appreciated Below are a few pics of the ambient door light. It's hard to take a photo of any lighting it just becomes very bright. I've also attached a video demo below of the ambient light when I was installing it.
